After you have installed the programm on the first run you will be prompted to fill out certain details to set up the connection.

Follow the Screenshots below in order to connect properly to the server.

Step 1 : Fill out your desired Nickname, an email adress is not required. If you fill out your Nickname with your [CLAN] tag then the clan logo will also show up inside the gamespy shell in the list of players. Do not yet click ok, but go to step 2.

Step 2: on the same screen select "server" in the three view on the left. Select "All" from the drop down list 'IRC Network'. Click on "Add". A new window will pop - up. Go to step 3

Step 4: Now in the list with 'IRC Server' Select the newly created Cossacks Server and click ok.

Step 5: Click on the lightning ( connect ) icon in the menu bar.

Step 6: A new screen will pop up for the channel details. Fill out exactly as below ( #GSP!cossacks ). Press Join . Note: you can save this channel to the list so you don't have to type it manually every time you join.

Step 7: You are now connected to the general chat:

Step 8 : Doubleclick on a player's name in the list on the right to send a private message. A new window will open up.

For customizing mIRC I refer to the options in the menu.( Colors, channelmessages, flood options,...)

You can also change your nickname by going to Commands in the Menu and select ' Change Nick'

Obviously for making adds for your game you can use ctrl+c ctrl+v so you dont have to type stuff over and over ( save in .txt doc)

Scripts are also possible but i wouldnt recommend them as its more a pure communications chat.

The special symbols ( flags, ...) are denoted by a symbol and the codes 0017 0018. Copy the following lines entirely and paste it in mIRC ( you can always change the text but keep the hidden symbols and numbers) and see inside the gamespy server how it shows up:

0018 0017 WARNING DO NOT FLOOD THE CHAT 0017 0018
0018 0017 WARNING DO NOT FLOOD THE CHAT 0017 0018
0018 0017 WARNING DO NOT FLOOD THE CHAT 0017 0018
0018 0017 WARNING DO NOT FLOOD THE CHAT 0017 0018
